salad ? how soon ?

Depends on your surgeon.  Mine allowed me to introduce salad at 4 weeks.  I find it easier to put veggies in my mini chopper.  I would talk with your surgeon or NUT before introducing any new foods though. 
Have a great day!

I was allowed raw vegetables (salads)  and fruits with peelings after 6 weeks.  Check with your program.  Don't pu**** too soon.

good luck!
